Hello Everyone!
It's been a while. We've been hard at work in the background, finalizing Yatamon, and we have some major updates to make! Let's jump into it.
PDF
We are so happy to announce that we are finalizing the Yatamon PDF! But, before we send it to print, we need your eyes on the book!
As of today, we have sent a sample PDF to all backers who purchased a copy of the PDF. This digital download is coming from a backer kit email and includes the PREVIEW version of the PDF, NOT the final.
We hope that over the next week or two, you, the amazing community, can lend us your eyes and help spot any issues before the book is finalized.
For those who wish to help, we have opened a new channel in our Discord, called YATAMON ERRORS, where you can leave comments and ask questions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In this version of the PDF, several art pieces and the handwritten notes left throughout the book are placeholders. We mention this for the eagle-eyed viewers who notice small errors in those sections.
Overall, we're so excited to be sharing this with you and can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Charging Cards
As summer approaches and as we get closer to production and fulfillment, we've decided it's probably best to charge cards on Backer Kit. For those that don't know, this is the time we'll be charging for your shipping and any extra products you may have ordered in your backer kit survey.
To give everyone a bit of time to prepare, we will be waiting to charge cards until Friday, May 22nd.
Podcast Break
For those who keep up with the podcast, you've assuredly noticed a lack of episodes recently. Well, rest assured, because we are returning. This Friday, Ari and Adam are back in the offices to record, and we'll be releasing new videos soon!
As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and we'll chat soon!

Hello Everyone!
Its been awhile. We've been hard at work in the background working on Yatamon/ Yanari and we've for some updates to make! Lets jump into it.
Production & Sampling
As of March we're heading into to final sampling of products before we start production. We're hoping to have all samples approved in the begging of April, which should keep us on schedule! That said here is an quick update on each individual product to keep you filled in.
**We'll be releasing a batch of sample photos in our next update! Coming soon!**
Tales From Yatamon. The book is in the final stages of layout and the last remaining art is being finished over the next few weeks. In the mean time we have a test model of the book coming to inspect color, material, and visual elements we have reservations about. We hope to see this sample by the end of the month. Which is around the same time we'll be wrapping up the final design. During this time, we'll also be releasing a preview of the PDF for the community to pour over and give notes.
Yanari The Witches Market. The Board game samples have come in, and besides issues with the playmat, the game is looking top notch. We have a new sample coming as we speak. Once it arrives, we hope to approve it and start production.
Accessory Pack. Samples have come in for each aspect and have all been approved. With the final art being finalized this week, we hope to complete layout next week and start production asap!
DM Screen Pack. We've has some issues with printing errors on the last batch of samples and are working through this problem with the manufacture. New samples are coming in and we hope to have things resolved in the next week or so.
Vinyl Record. Now that the new song is finished we'll be able to start production very soon!
Journal. We just received samples and are super happy with them. Production has just started!
Vending Machine Dice. Samples are on their way!
Acrylic Standees. We've had one batch of samples and had a handful of issue with sizing. We're now waiting on our latest batch and hope the sizing issue will be solved. Overall the quality is great!
New Song
The Community Voted on a song for Sky Kite Valley late last year. We're happy to announce that we'll be previewing that song next week! Keep you eye out on YouTube for when it goes live!
Playtest
If you haven't looked at our playtest, we would love if you could check them out and leave your thoughts in the Discord.
If you didn't know, we're working on a video game! We've made a handful of videos about that topic and this is our latest.
As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and we'll chat soon!

Happy New Year! Surveys and More

Hello Everyone!
I hope you all had an amazing holiday and are have a great start to the new year! Now that we're back and moving I wanted to jump on here to give an update on the project and talk about the Pledge Manager.
Pledge Manager
It took a bit of time, but we're fully set up in Backer Kit and plan to send a small batch of surveys early next week. Once we can confirm that the pledge manager is running smoothly and people are getting our emails, we'll do a full launch (hopefully at the end of that week).
For those unfamiliar with Backer Kit or pledge managers, this survey is your opportunity to give us your shipping address, the credit card you'd like to use when paying for shipping, and add on any products you may want in your order.
Upcoming Video Update
Next week we'll be releasing a video update where we'll chat about the state of the project, answer question and give timelines. We find this is an easy way to cover a lot of topics and questions all in one place! Look for that video on our YouTube channel early next week.
New Book Previews
We plan to send out previews and playtest material as we continue to make progress. Some PDFs will be large, others will be small, no matter what it is you can find it here!
If you didn't know, we're working on a video game! We've made a handful of videos about that topic and this is our latest.
As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and we'll chat soon!

Pledge Manager Update, 20k Subscriber Special and More!
6 months ago
– Fri, Dec 05, 2025 at 02:16:12 PM
Hello Everyone,
We've got a lot to talk about, so lets jump into it.
Pledge Manager
In the last update we mentioned that Kickstarter has its own pledge manager, and we're working with the Kickstarter team to see if that is the right fit for this project. If It was, it would allow everyone to manage their order all in one platform, which is what we were hoping for. That said, after learning about the features of Kickstarter's Native Pledge manger and that its still in early development, we decided it was best if we use Backer Kit for this project.
For those familiar with backer kit you can expect your survey email in the coming weeks.
For those new to the platform, backer kit is a separate website which you will use to manager your order information now that the Kicsktarter is over. You'll be sent an email which will include a survey. In that survey you'll give us needed information, such as what your shipping address is, what extra products you might want in your order, and which card you would like to have charged when we ship your product next year.
As we continue to make updates, we'll also give guidance on the subject for those who might be worried.
Book Previews
We plan to send out previews and playtest material as we continue to make progress. Some PDFs will be large, others will be small, no matter what it is you can find it here!
We have officially hit 20k subscribers on Youtube and we celebrated by reacting to the communities Homebrew, as well as announcing a few special giveaways and community builds!
